Rs 17430000000000000 bunkers built for people in…, the aim is to...
World's richest people always find a way to get ahead of everyone. Well, this is not only in business, but if the world is going to end in the coming days, they have already found a way to safeguard themselves. Secret luxurious bunkers are being made for the world's richest people where they can save themselves if doomsday happens. United States official Catherine Austin Fitts made a sensational claim that has raised the question again. Catherine, who was in the administration of former US President George H. W. Bush, recently claimed that the US government has quietly built about 170 underground and undersea bunkers by spending 21 trillion dollars (about Rs 1,743,00,00,00,00,000) between 1998 and 2015. These bunkers are connected to each other through a secret transit system powered by an unknown technology.
Catherine made the claim during a podcast of Fox News' famous anchor Tucker Carlson. She said the super strong bunkers have been built to protect the rich from the world's disasters. However, concreate evidence of the claim has not been found. 21 Trillion Dollars… Where Did This Money Go?
Economist Mark Skidmore's 2017 report, cited by Fitts, revealed major irregularities in American federal spending. Millions of dollars in undocumented adjustments, lacking supporting documentation, were identified within the Defence and Housing Departments. Catherine Fiits alleges these funds were used to secretly construct several powerful bunkers. This is not just a theory, bunkers are being built!
An American company SAFE (Strategically Armored and Fortified Environments) has recently announced its mega project names- 'Aerie'. This USD 300 million underground fort to be built near Washington by 2026. The fort, equipped with all the necessary things, will keep 625 world's richest people safe in times of natural or human made disaster. The price of the fort's single ticket is Just USD 20 million per person.
A luxury survival bunker, offering amenities comparable to a five-star hotel, including AI-powered healthcare, wellness facilities, a bowling alley, indoor pool, and IV therapy, has received thousands of applications from wealthy individuals worldwide. The Billionaires Are Ready… What Will We Do?
As per a report by Bloomberg, in 2018, at least seven tech billionaires bought bunkers in New Zealand. Notably, Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg is building a huge private complex on Hawaii island, including an underground bunker.
According to reports, the construction workers have been made to sign NDAs (confidentiality agreements). Media thinkers like Douglas Rushkoff believe that this trend of buying entry tickets or building bunkers reflects a deep concern that even the rich people don't believe that the world will last much longer.

DIG nod must for sanction of Rs 25,000 ‘investigation fund'
1 2 Bhubaneswar: A home department notification issued on Tuesday mandates that superintendents of police (SPs) and deputy inspectors general (DIGs) must approve the sanction of 'investigation funds' exceeding Rs 10,000 and Rs 25,000, respectively. State govt launched the 'investigation fund' initiative in April to support expenses during criminal investigations. According to the home department's guidelines, accessed by TOI, investigating officers (IOs) must self-certify invoices confirming their use in specific investigations. "Whenever an invoice cannot be reasonably procured, the IO shall provide a certification to that effect and submit it for reimbursement, along with details on the expenditure and its purpose, to the inspector in-charge (IIC)," the guidelines read. The IIC must countersign bills submitted by the IO and verify the expenditure's necessity. "For amounts up to Rs 5,000, an IIC's self-declaration suffices. Bills up to Rs 10,000 require sub-divisional police officer (SDPO) endorsement, while those between Rs 10,000 and Rs 25,000 need SP approval. Bills exceeding Rs 25,000 must be endorsed by the range DIG," the notification stated. Under the 'investigation fund' scheme, murder probes can receive sanctions up to Rs 25,000 per case, covering body transportation, scientific team visits, exhibit sealing and associated activities both within and outside the state. For rape cases, police authorities can utilise up to Rs 37,000 for investigation purposes outside the state and Rs 18,000 within state. The money supports transportation of survivors and accused, accommodation, evidence handling, witness refreshments and emergency requirements. Kidnapping investigations are allocated Rs 30,000 for cases beyond state boundaries and Rs 10,000 for within state investigations, the notification read. Unnatural death (UD) investigations will receive Rs 13,000 for both in-state and outside expenses. Cybercrime investigations are allocated Rs 45,000 for out-of-state and Rs 25,000 for in-state probes. For drugs and arms smuggling investigations, authorities can spend Rs 35,000 (outside state) and Rs 15,000 (in state) per case. Property-related offences receive Rs 17,000 for both in-state and out-of-state investigation expenses, while miscellaneous cases have a Rs 5,000 limit per case. The policy follows Odisha police's proposal addressing complaints about officers requesting money from complainants for investigation-related expenses. "Police often faced criticism for demanding money from complainants to cover costs such as filling of fuel tanks of vans and purchasing train or bus tickets for travel during investigations. In some cases, police stations received financial support from local businessmen for minor expenses," a senior police officer said.
